Reliance Entertainment Digital's game division Jump Games, a leading international publisher and developer of mobile games, apps and content, has brought on board Eric Marlow as vice-president in charge of its Global Studios.

Marlow's mandate will involve overseeing the development of projects underway, chart the company's growth into new regions and expand the product portfolio by enhancing the company's relationship with third party developers.
